I mean what's worse: using a human shield, or deciding "nah fuck them kids shoot through them anyway."
What if they were shooting your kids while hiding behind their own? Would you let them keep doing it while insisting that reprisals are off limits?
Yeah, this is the problem I'm having with people picking sides. It's a giant crap-pile of the worst of humanity. People act like there's a good side. Nah, everything's a mess of generational hatred and I hate it all.
There needs to be a cease-fire. Hamas needs to release all hostages and then be permanently removed from power in Gaza, and Israel needs to help the Palestinians rebuild what has been destroyed, burry their dead with dignity and respect, and heavily compensate the families of those who have died.
The whole thing is out of control
There was a ceasefire, then Hamas attacked. Hard to rebuild trust after that.
That may be so, but Israel clearly has the upper hand right now. It's within their power to put the breaks on. I understand the depth of their rage after what Hamas did, but they shouldn't soothe their sorrow with the blood of innocents
I dont understand your comment. What do you mean "if only they were at level hand?"
Your comment makes it sound like you’d be hunky dory with October 7th, and then the Israeli response of they had proportional militaries.
